Abstract Synopsis

  • This review explores how vitamin C impacts brain functions like neuron development and neurotransmitter regulation, examining whether vitamin C levels are linked to cognitive abilities in both healthy and impaired individuals.
  • It analyzed 50 studies ranging from randomized trials to case-control studies, finding that people with intact cognition generally had higher vitamin C levels compared to those with conditions like Alzheimer's or dementia.
  • The research suggests a potential connection between plasma vitamin C levels and cognitive performance in healthy individuals, but more detailed studies with better cognitive tests are needed to confirm this link.
